Chapter 26:
Just a short aftermath chapter. Izuku With A Guitar comes after this then I'm tired of your BS then Izuku Quartet.
"Man, I can't believe you called Iida a little bitch." Murry told Izuku as they were walking back to the dorms. Neither the three nor Rappa took any credit from taking down the hero killer and gave it to his aunt instead when the Police Commissioner asked them to. Not that both of them really care about that. If you're a well-known underground hero, then you're clearly doing something wrong.
"I mean, when he asked you if the both of you could still be friends you literally said, 'Do you want the heroic answer or the real answer?'. That sure shut him up real quick, homie."
"Yeah, probably a bad idea but it's for the best. I'm not gonna bother putting up with his hypocritical ass. How's Rappa doing?" The man was still a mystery to Izuku. Someone that aggressive somehow got a hero license. He always questioned which hero school the man came from.
"He laughed off the wound. Called it a flesh wound, I think." Murry tried to remember what Rappa said but shrugged it off. Once they entered the dorm, Izuku was greeted by a dropkick from Camie.
"What is it with ya wankstains and dropkicks, anyway?" Trish wondered aloud. Everyone was on the same page as her. "Ayy, my motherfuckin' friends. Just in time for pie!" Chifu prepared some pie as usual.
"Camie, get off me." Izuku was on his stomach while Camie is still sitting on his back. Doesn't matter how soft she is, she's being more annoying than usual. He stared at her while pouting but it doesn't look like she's gonna let up.
"Porn is the only thing I get-"
"You better not finish that sentence, harlot." Seiji thankfully interrupted Camie before she could say anything else.
"Camie, please get off Midoriya and perhaps I shall let you give me belly rubs." Kenshi bargained. "Y'all lucky I'm totes a dog person, Izubro." Camie told him while walking over to the wolf to rub his belly.
"Now that everyone is here, how were your internships?" Nagamasa asked everyone, like he's the group leader, which he is. Everyone considers him as the class leader.
"Eh, not much happened to me and the peeps. Met this cute frog tho, pretty sure she was Izubro's friend. We kicked on a couple of smugglers tho." Camie shrugged it off but everyone found it cool.
"I-uh, I learned a few things from Uwabami b-bu-but…" Riku lost the will to continue talking to them but everyone was relieved that she could at least speak to them now. Chifu headed over to pat her head and offer her some blueberry pie.
"My internship with Recovery Girl was quite fruitful." Seiji said before going back to reading his book and politely declining Chifu's pie when she offered him some.
"The fokin' rabbit kept beatin' the shit outta me for two weeks straight but I did learn how to fight a bit." Trish complained while angrily munching on her pie. She calmed down a bit after tasting it.
"I HAVE LEARNED MAN- many things from Air Jet. Mostly how to control MY OWN volume. I AM GLADLY working on it." Inasa bowed in apology but ended up hitting his head on his own pie. He went upstairs to clean up.
"I wouldn't call mine an internship. I merely took the chance to meet up with an old friend." Kenshi said. Chifu gave him some pork pie, which the wolf gladly accepted, seeing as how his tail was wagging.
"Kamui Woods taught me a few tricks. I have learned many things, to say the least." Nagamasa recalled his own experience for two-weeks. He had made another friend from UA who had vines for hair.
"My motherfuckin' Grand Priest enlightened the motherfuck outta me. Of course, people are still kinda scared of me." Chifu sighed but she did make friends with a little girl back in Okinawa.
"Not much happened the first week but the second week? Look at this freakin sword I stole from a villain, homies." Murry unsheathed Stain's sword from its scabbard. The blade itself was serrated and the edges were covered with obsidian. When a button at the hilt is pressed, it starts vibrating intensely. "Anti-nanomachines, homies. Izuku got some competition now."
"How about you, Midoriya? It's okay if you don't want to share after…such events." Nagamasa told Izuku. Everyone knew what he had been through and if he's being honest, he agrees with his friend.
"Yeah, I think I'd rather not talk about it." He shrugged. Chifu offered him a pie. Once he looked at her, she had her usual face paint. Clown face paint. White, like his. He knocked the hand and the pie away without realizing it.
"Midoriya!"
"Huh- wha-? Oh shit. Sorry, Chi-" He looked at her again but can't help but look away. "Why am I…?"
"Fuck. I gotta- I gotta head upstairs. Chifu, I'm sorry." He couldn't face his own friend. He headed upstairs without even leaving a glance to anyone else.
"Ah motherfuck! I knew this would happen." Chifu rested her face on her palms. She knew it was the killer clown. Of course she knew Izuku would develop an uneasiness towards clowns after that near-death experience. She couldn't tell him that it's fine since she was also shaken when he knocked her hand away. This is what she feared the most, her friends being scared of her.
"Chifu, are you okay?" Seiji inspected her hand for any injury while Nagamasa and Murry cleaned up the mess. He did hit her a bit hard. "Yeah, I'm motherfuckin' fine. I'm more worried about Midoribro."
"We need to give him some space to think. That means no clown pranks, Trish." Camie glared at the Scot as a warning but Trish looked insulted. "Ya think I'd stoop that low? I swear on the bear's heart, I'm not gonna pull clown pranks on him, ya tramp."
"You better."
"Alright, enough of that. I assure you, Izuku might take time to become comfortable with Chifu again but I doubt he would allow it to destroy his friendship with her. It's best to leave him be for now, and Chifu, it might be best that you hold off on that clown attire for now." Kenshi said and Chifu agreed to the wolf. Things might get awkward for now.
Bakugou felt a little bit better. Ibara invited him to her home for some reason he doesn't know. He expected a goddamn garden and well, they do have a garden at the back, from what he could see. The garden was filled with different kinds of plants from flowers to even cacti.
"'Nay! I'm home!" Ibara called out and a woman, wearing a dress and an apron over it, who had the same hair as her but smaller came out of the kitchen. "O' Ibara! You brought a friend."
"Yes, 'nay." Ibara bowed her head as the older woman, presumably her mother, patted it. "God bless." She did the same with Bakugou though he doesn't know why she would do that.
"That's a sign of respect to the ones older than you in my mom's country." Ibara explained to him.
"Ah." They both left their boots by the door. She led him to the garden. "Why the hell did you bring me here, Ibara?"
"First name basis, are we, Katsuki?" She raised her eyebrow in an amused manner at him. He scoffed at her but she wiggled her eyebrows in response.
"Oh fuck off." He rolled his eyes but was irritated to hear her giggle. "Well, some of these plants might be needed to be transferred to the greenhouse at UA."
"Oh and now I'm hear to be your stupid worker? You know what? Fine!"
"Glad to see you two enjoying yourselves, here have some Sinigang. C'mon now, eat!" Ibara's mother brought them some kind of stew or soup that Katsuki could not identify. He took one bowl of it and took a look. It had pork and green vegetables on it together with tomatoes. He took a sip and the taste was sour but good. He kinda likes this dish.
"This is delicious, uh-"
"Call me Benilda, dearie." Ibara's mother, Benilda told him. He nodded in thanks for the new meal he recently tasted. After eating, they went back to business. Bakugou handled the bigger plants while Ibara carried the smaller ones to her mother's car. The woman herself was waiting in the vehicle until they were all done.
"A pity we have to move some of the plants we both spent time growing to your school. They never had enough space at home, Ibara."
"It's fine, 'nay. My friends and I are very capable in taking care of the plants." Ibara assured her mother that the plants would be fine. "If only your dad could see you right now. He left for work just a moment ago!"
Bakugou legitimately thought Ibara's father was dead until her mother did a fake out on him without intending to do so. Or do they? Benilda gave him a sly smirk before signaling both of them to ride at the back. "Like mother like fucking daughter, I guess."
The trip to UA was far less annoying though since they had him choose the music. Good thing he put on his own mixtape. "Katsuki, your taste in music is far from ideal…"
"Oh now you're insulting me! Lady Gaga is the best, dammit!"
"Yes, I assure you that she is quite good, but then it switched to multiple remixes of Despacito. As I said, far from ideal."
"Well it's not my fault that my music tastes are shit!"
"Language!" Ibara's mother said gleefully while parking at the UA's parking lot.
"Sorry." He bowed his head in embarrassment as both he and Ibara went outside to pick up the plants they were transferring. Mineta and Yosetsu were already waiting for them outside in their own casual outfits. Not that he'd bother describing them other than Mineta's scarf and Yosetsu's headband.
"Nice to see you two finish up your date." Mineta said while eating some chips with Yosetsu. The other guy nodded along while taking some of the plants.
"We haven't gone on a date." Both of them deadpanned simultaneously.
"Oh? I thought you were." Benilda chided in.
"'Nay! Di ka-" And then Ibara and her mom bantered off in some foreign language that Bakugou doesn't know about. He'll probably ask her later. He faced the two, who doesn't seem scared of him. A little annoying but fuck it. "You fuckers shut your ass up! We're not dating."
"Yet." Mineta gave him a sly grin while Yosetsu nodded along. Bakugou bowed his head in defeat but he'll probably get back at them for some time.
"Well, it looks like you children have it covered. Enjoy your time with your boyfriend, Ibara."
"NAY!" It was his first time to see his friend flustered and he had to admit, it was kind of cute. Kind of. "Eh, whatever, more work to do before school starts again, I guess. Good way to keep my mind off of stuff."

Two months passed since classes were back after the mildly disastrous internships. Gran Torino seems less intense than usual as he tells everyone their midterm scores. Most were disappointed and others are relieved. Seeing as how there's only ten of them, there's really no point in doing the top ten bests since they all scored well enough but some are still better than others.
"Quite relieving that the midterms are over. Our biggest worry now is the finals. Which are next month." Nagamasa [Midterms 3/10] sighed.
"Aw, don't ye fuckin' remind me. AND HOW COME YE GET A BETTER SCORE! I NEVER SEE YA STUDY!" Trish [Midterms 9/10] rested her head on her desk while complaining at Camie. Those nights of Izuku forcefully cramming information into her brain has been torturous, if not, lethal.
"Pssh, English and Mathematics save my dummy thicc ass, fam. Like, man, the other subjects were totes hell! Three page essay? Miss me with that bullshit." Camie [Midterms 4/10] flexed on Trish, irritating the Scot even more than she should be. Even then, both of them could feel the sheer smug energy from another person.
"Yeah, sure, most of the tests were hard." Izuku [Midterms 2/10] gave both of them a sly grin before resting his head on his own desk while scrolling through his phone.
"I was sure you bullshitted your way through everything that isn't Science, Math, or Heroics." Chifu [Midterms 8/10] quipped. She removed her facepaint entirely, for her friend's sake and lowered on her clown reference. Even when Izuku told her it was fine, she knew it wasn't, much to his annoyance.
"There were tests?" Murry [Midterms 7/10] stopped shining his new sword for a moment there, feigning confusion.
"Yes, Murry, there were." Seiji [Midterms 5/10] glared at his roommate. Murry paid him no mind.
"ALL OF YOU HAVE SUCH GREAT SCORES! I SHALL TRY HARDER NEXT TIME!" Of course, Inasa [Midterms 10/10] did have to try harder next time. His scores were mediocre at best. Riku [Midterms 6/10] cursed the fact that she had to sit next to a very loud classmate. She has grown in confidence but is still very hesitant.
"Most of you did well." Kenshi [Midterms 1/10] said with a genuine kind bark. Everyone deadpanned at him seeing as how the wolf completely destroyed them in most subjects.
"All right, whippersnappers, I'm back." Gran Torino said while walking back with a big pile of paper and set it down on the table. "Don't rest now, idiots! You got the finals next month along with a physical test in Heroics!"
"DAMMIT!"
Meanwhile with the Bakusquad...
"HOW DID YOU GET A HIGHER SCORE THAN ME?!" Bakugou [Midterms 4/20] growled at Mineta [2/20] but the midget only gave him a mocking shrug, which frustrated him even more.
"At the very least the two of you made it to the top ten..." Ibara [Class 1B Midterms 11/20] sighed in disappointment of herself. Setsuna, once again, takes the top of her class with Honenuki coming in on second place. Yosetsu [Class 1B Midterms 5/20] remained indifferent to their argument as he continued to plant some watermelon seeds. He had no idea how he got roped into joining the Botany Club, but whatever. Free marks for club membership, he guessed. He decided to leave early in case of a shitshow happening. Thankfully it never did.
"You only got 11th place? HA!"
"Katsuki, what did I say to making fun of other people?"
"It's only funny when you're not the butt of it?"
"The other one?"
"Tone it down a little?"
"Yes."
"Fuck. Fine."
"Man, she has you whipped." Mineta said while smirking. The midget was only assigned to watering the fucking grapevines. "FUCK DID YOU SAY TO ME, YOU MIDGET SHIT?!"
"You heard me man, whipped!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
{-To Be Continued...
Yeah, final exams will come soon. Not next chapter but definitely soon. Anyway, this is a pretty short one, but like I said, a brief happenings of the aftermath. Izuku is now uneasy around clowns, thanks to Carlitos. Bakugou isn't any better, and is more irritable than usual. Mineta might not be helping the situation get better, just saying.
Bakugou: Oh, of fucking course, make me jumpy as hell.
Not jumpy, just irritable.
Bakugou: Well la di da, go fuck yourself.
Anyway, like, subscribe, leave a comment. PEACE!
